| Post subject: | Square u-bolts for 3/4 elliptic |
I been looking for square u-bolts that will fit on a sierra chassis rail tight. I have tried repco, super cheap, coventry fasteners, trade tools and bunnings. Everything i have come across has been too short or way to wide 
Besides getting them custom made any other ideas on where to try? They would need to be a minimum of 150mm long x 52mm Internal width x 14mm I've tried using the u bolts and spring plate for my lux front diff but they are too wide

Shoe laces or gaffa tape will work just as well

What about if you turn the u-bolts on an angle. Not right but it will work lol |

I'll send them up to you for $80 bucks. i paid $17 each for them plus some shipping to you. i was goign to use them to brace my old ARB bar but never got round to it. |

make sure you put a locating pin on the leaf as well (ie: a bolt welded to the chassis that sits in the hole in the leaf spring) - just a bit of extra safety to stop any movement. most suspension places can custom make you some u-bolts. |
